I have noticed some of my gums near my teeth swollen so any cure for this?

Well, it can have more reasons.
You either don't brush your teeth regulary (atleast twice a day) or you use a wrong tooth brush, usually a hard one. Hard tooth brush hurts the gums and there you have the problems. Use a soft tooth brush, it's not true that a hard tooth brush cleans the teeth better then a soft one.
Other reasons - using one tooth brush for a long time. The tooth brush is the home for the bacteria from your mouth, from the air and if in the bathroom is also the toilet, the fecal bacteria are also there because when you flush the toilet, the micro drops from it are sprayed about 180 cm around the toilet. Buy a new tooth brush atleast every 3 months and when you are sick, buy a new one after you recover.
Keep your tooth brush in a dry place, not on the basin.
Brushing the wrong way - left right movements are wrong. Brush with circular and up and down movements.
Use an antibacterial mouth wash atleast twice a day.
You can develope a parodontotis, I would suggest you visit a dentist to check if it is already so far. -
talking about this...
the gumline (where the gum and the tooth meets) for one of my teeth became rather red all of the sudden since last week. and accompanying that is the pain when i brush that portion of my gum.
i brush my teeth daily and i use the rotational motion for brushing.
so what could have happened?? -
Thanks

I'm not a dentist so I only can give you my opinion. I think some bacteria have gathered in the gumline and the inflammatory process is starting, or maybe even the parodontotis. Try the antibacterial mouth wash and when it doesn't get better in few days (3 - 4), visit a dentist.Originally posted by wuming78:talking about this...

Bacteria in dental plaque beneath the gumline can set up inflammation and lead to peridontal disease. There may even be calculus formation. You may want to see your dentist to have a proper cleaning. It is not an impacted molar tooth is it? Food debris may be trapped beneath the operculum of an impacted molar, giving rise to coronitis (inflammation of the gum in close relation to the crown of the impacted tooth).Originally posted by wuming78:talking about this...
